Notes on Psalms - Dr. Thomas L. Constable

Psalm 21

This royal psalm is a companion to the preceding royal psalm in that it records David's thanksgiving for giving him his heart's desire. All of the royal psalms anticipate the rule of the Great King: Jesus Christ. Like the preceding psalm, this one was evidently written by David to direct his people's prayers for him—this time in thanksgiving. Leupold argued convincingly that the setting may have been David's reception of the Davidic Covenant (2 Sam. 7). Liturgical churches often read this psalm to commemorate Christ's ascension on Ascension Sunday

1. Joy in God's Strength, 21:1-7

Psalm 21:1 O Lord,

in your strength the king rejoices,
and in your salvation

how greatly he exults!

(ESV)

2. Antecipation of the further Blessing, 21:8-12

Psalm 21:8 Your hand

will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out

those who hate you.

(ESV)

3. Vow to Praise, 20:13

Psalm 21:13 Be exalted, O Lord,

in your strength!
We will sing and praise

your power.

(ESV)

(…)

When God's people experience victory over their spiritual enemies, they should acknowledge that their success is the work of God for them. We can look forward to future victories in the will of God because God is loyal to His promises and strong enough to overcome every foe.

Matthew Henry :: Commentary on Psalm 21

Psalm 21

Psalm 21

As the foregoing psalm was a prayer for the king that God would protect and prosper him, so this is a thanksgiving for the success God had blessed him with. Those whom we have prayed for we ought to give thanks for, and particularly for kings, in whose prosperity we share. They are here taught,

I. To congratulate him on his victories, and the honour he had achieved (v. 1-6).

II. To confide in the power of God for the completing of the ruin of the enemies of his kingdom (v. 7-13).

In this there is an eye to Messiah the Prince, and the glory of his kingdom; for to him divers passages in this psalm are more applicable than to David himself.

The story of Psalms 20 and 21

In Psalm 20 the king and his army are going to war. In verses 1-5 the people pray for them. In verses 6-8 the king says that he believes that he will win as God will give him help. Then the people will say, "LORD, save the king". This probably happened in Jerusalem every time that there was a war. It started with David, but other kings after him did it. In Psalm 21 the king and his army come back. They have won the war, so they thanked God. Psalm 21:8-12 is what God will do to his enemies.

Psalm 21[a]

Thanksgiving and Assurances for the King

Footnotes:

a. Psalm 21 The first part of this royal Psalm is a thanksgiving (Ps 21:2–8), and the second is a promise that the king will triumph over his enemies (Ps 21:9–13). The king’s confident prayer (Ps 21:3–5) and trust in God (Ps 21:8) enable him to receive the divine gifts of vitality, peace, and military success. Ps 21:14 reprises Ps 21:2. When kings ceased in Israel after the sixth century B.C., the Psalm was sung of a future Davidic king.
